How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 35 × 40% · Batting 89 × 30% · Bowling 52 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.50 for the level played (National competition 13 · Club 32). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 45 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 29 catches + 6 run outs (5 direct, 1 assisted) in 99 matches — 0.35 per match.
- Batting
- 2,468 runs in 99 innings, adjusted average 28.0, strike rate 99.9. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 104 wickets in 80 matches bowled in (of 99 played) — 1.30 per match at 20.5, economy 5.50, strike rate 22.4.
